Word For The Week: Lighting the Menorah

Text: Lev 24:2 Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you pure olive oil, beaten, for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.

Part of what the LORD is doing in this time is the outpouring of the seven spirits of God upon His last days army. The seven Spirits of God are pictured in the tabernacle of Moses as the Menorah in the Holy Place. The menorah is a lampstand that has seven openings where the light burns from. Isaiah reveals the dimensions of God that these seven Spirits carry.

Isa 11:2 And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest on Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah. These Spirits are heavy dimensions of God that will ensure that the last days harvest is brought into the fold. If we will fulfill God's plan for this last days, we cannot do things as usual. We have to be anointed for the supernatural.

These means that every believer ought to have the seven candles burning brightly in them so that we can walk in light- the seven fold dimension of light which must be burning continually. God instructed the Levites to ensure that these candles burn continually. There must not be a time where the lights will be dim or go out. It must always be oiled.

God is therefore, lighting the menorah upon the men as this will ensure that we walk in wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge and the fear of the LORD. Every Christian is supposed to have these 7 dimensions burning brightly within them. This can also be seen in the 10 virgins who had extra oil to see the groom. If our oil is low, our light will be dim. For some people, some candles are bright while some are low. This explains why a believer can be doing well in making decisions (Spirit of wisdom), but does not have reverence for the presence of God (Spirit of the fear of the LORD).

These 7 Spirits are to be alive and burning within us. The Psalmist says: Psa 18:28 For You will light my candle; Jehovah my God will make my darkness light. We need to ensure that the 7 candles are lighted within us. Take time to study and pray in line of each of the dimensions. Press the Olives for the oil to come out to keep your lamp burning. Understand their essence and pray that the candle is lighted within you.

In the coming weeks, we will highlight the seven Spirits of God and their function in the believer.

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty. It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

EndSARS: Prophetic Intelligence

Some moments ago, the LORD reminded me of the things He shared with me during the protests. As usual, when I hear of an event in Nigeria or on the global scene, I would go to God for prophetic intelligence. I have always shared how that prophetic (spiritual) intelligence is the highest form of reality. When we seek God's counsel about an issue in our life, family or work, we are seeking prophetic intelligence. If we seek it for different issues in our life, how much more would it be of greater premium when we seek it for happenings in our nation. The ENdSARS protests started without any prior notice. There was no signal to it in the physical and it gathered momentum within days so much that many were surprised that Nigerians could stand up for their right. As the protests were going on, I went to God to find out His thoughts about the protests. In following God in the last days, many have missed the trail because they arrange things based on the knowledge of good and evil. We...
